West Boundwood is a suburb of Malton, located in the north of the city. Prior to the outbreak West Boundwood consisted primarily of upper-middle class families. A blend of old and new money, the affluence of the area assured good service and leisure facilities. Along its northern edge runs the River Kevan.

A strong religious element in the population was reflected in a large number of Churches being built in West Boundwood, and also resulted in an absence of NecroTech Buildings as a result of idealogical conflict between local religious groups and Necrotech.

An impressive number of clubs catered to the rich, famous and extravagant, and even more numerous than the Churches or clubs were the various museums. Between these two elements, West Boundwood as a suburb was an attraction to local socialites and tourists alike.

When the plague began, many of the population fled into East Boundwood and Bale Mall, leaving much of the suburb largely deserted.
